That said, I found it easier to run  battles in 2E when not using figurines.While complicated, the 2.5E combat rules were in many ways the predecessor to 3E:- It introduced the 3E critical hit rule - The idea of splitting the actions of the players into no-move, half-move and full-move actions- Attacks of Opportunity- 6-second rounds- FeatsIt was made easier and more consistent in 3E, but I still miss some of the rules from 2.5E melee:- Facing (The idea of flanking a formation of pikemen is lost in 3E, and this is one rule it is hard to make a house rule)- Weapon speed- Different weapon armor penetration - Fatigue- Strength and dexterity influences standard movement speed</blockquote>
